"This is too high school for me and I don't want to take part in it anymore."
"It didn't exactly go over well. Some of the others tried to smooth things over. One sent flowers, then ignored me when I thanked her for them. Another tried to convince me that everyone assumed I'd been invited to gatherings and just hadn't shown up."
"To be clear, I have never considered the moms to be bad people. (Maybe one.) But I do think our group dynamic stopped being healthy and positive - for me, anyway,"
Ashley confronted the other moms via text, stating that the situation felt too juvenile and that she did not want to continue participating. The response was poor: some attempted to smooth things over, one sent flowers then ignored her thanks, and another claimed others had assumed Ashley had been invited but had not shown up. Ashley does not consider the moms to be bad people (perhaps one exception) but found the group's dynamic unhealthy and no longer positive for her.
